Outside Datong City, on the south bank of the Shili River, the dark and dreary earth was full of large and small shacks, a low earthen wall, and a trench that was neither wide nor deep, and these shacks were enclosed together.

Within the earthen walls, there is a miserable world.

Those who are trapped here are the "good people of the Ming Dynasty" mentioned by Luo Yangxing, and they are all survivors captured from the castles in Datong Mansion that were broken by the Qing army!

The current Qing soldiers are still as ferocious as before entering the customs, and all the castles that are stubbornly defended are slaughtered after they are broken! It's not about killing them all, it's about killing half and catching half of them - those who resist with weapons, men who can't do physical work, and women who are not old. The rest were all captured and served as serfs of the nobles of the Eight Banners, called Baoyi Aha!

Most of the Eight Banners' coated minions, except for a few like Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme, who took the initiative to join the flag as slaves in order to climb up, were forced. Either they were enclosed and had to be used as serfs to farm the land for the Eight Banners, or they were captured by the Eight Banners soldiers from the field or from the broken city!

And these coats captured by the soldiers of the Eight Banners from the enemy's territory are the lowest and least trusted existence among all the coat minions.

Because they have a blood feud with the Qing Dynasty!

To arrest them is to be called to death as slaves, and to die of exhaustion and illness, and to catch another batch is enough.

In the past ten years, the soldiers of the Eight Banners have entered six times, and I don't know how many Han people have been plundered. And now how many coated minions have entered the customs from the dragon? The number is definitely not much, if it is more, what kind of "investment method"? So you can imagine what happened to those Han people who were plundered......

Similar to these people, there are also Han people who disappeared from the vicinity of Beijing because of "land enclosure" and "house occupation". There was not a single banner man in Beijing in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and now there are not many Han people in Beijing in the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (excluding clothed minions).

How is population replacement achieved? How were the hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese residents of Beijing settled?

Many of these Han people who disappeared in the long river of history were still alive in 1645 AD!

Bai Siwen, a military talent who is subordinate to the Zhenyu Guard, is such a living person who is about to be submerged by the long river of history.

He is twenty-five years old this year, and he is also a well-known figure in the town. It's not the commanding house, but the door of a thousand households, and the mighty Hulu Bai Qianhu is him...... The ancestors! His ancestors are powerful, Miao Zhenggen's red Red Turban Army, the veteran of Liu Futong's uprising. Later, he also followed Mr. Guan, the general of the Red Turban Army, to sweep the north, broke the capital of the Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, and killed the Tartars to the point that it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Later, the Red Turban Army failed, and Bai Qianhu voted for Zhu Yuanzhang again, because he took refuge relatively late and did not catch up with Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, so he continued to kill Tartars, and later followed Xu Da to Mobei to kill ...... Killed a hereditary thousand-household official.

It's a pity that the craft of killing Tartars has not been passed on, and by Bai Siwen's generation, they have all become scholars!

But the ancestral blood is still there! When the Qing soldiers came, all the children of the Bai family went to the head of the acropolis and fought with the traitors of the whole red flag for ten days and ten nights! Eleven brothers of the same clan, only Bai Siwen is left.

It is precisely because of their resolute resistance that the Qing army that broke through the town guards opened a slaughter, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed less than a thousand, and Bai Siwen was one of them...... However, the Qing soldiers did not let him go, but shaved his ugly braided head and classified it into the clothes of the army of the Zhenghongqi - that is, the kind of clothes that were pulled down by exhaustion, and were forced by the Zhenghongqi Han army to dig trenches outside the city of Datongfu to besiege the city, working day and night, and there was nothing to eat. Of the people who were captured together, there are now less than a hundred people left!

However, the clothing in this camp on the bank of the Ten Mile River has not decreased, because there is always a steady stream of Han slaves, escorted by the soldiers of the Eight Banners from all over Datong Mansion!

It seems that after this war, Datong Mansion, which was prosperous in the past, will become a blank land......

At dawn, Bai Siwen, who had long been tormented to the point of numbness by suffering, dragged his tired steps and crawled out of the stinky shack where he slept, and walked weakly to an open flat ground and stood up. He was not the first to arrive, and there were already many Han slaves like him, dressed in tattered clothes, emaciated, and numb in their eyes, who had already arrived, and were looking around with confused eyes.

What about the old man Cao Heitan of Zhang Jing, who is in the red flag? Why didn't this living Hades come today? Could it be that he went out on patrol last night and killed the Ming army in Datong City?

In addition, Cao Heitan didn't come, why didn't the other Tartar traitors come? Could it be that the Ming army was killed?

Impossible, right? Is General Jiang in Datong City so powerful? The defenders of Datong haven't even gone out of the city gate in the past few months, so it can't be changed overnight, right?

Just when Bai Siwen and the others were feeling strange about the disappearance of the Eight Banners, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "The Tartars are defeated!" The Tartars were defeated...... The officers and soldiers are coming! The officers and soldiers have come to the rescue! ”

"The Tartars are defeated! The officers and soldiers are coming......"

"My lord has opened his eyes! The officers and soldiers are here to save us! ”

"Daming Wansheng!"

......

"Hey, hey, hey, that's how it is!"

I saw a large group of soldiers wearing war hats and war jackets marching into the camp surrounded by tens of thousands of Han people. General Jiang Xuan, the chief military officer of Datong in the Ming Dynasty, laughed proudly, he glanced at Wang Yongji beside him, and said with a smile: "Controlling the army, we should send an envoy to report to the imperial court next, right?" How much is appropriate? ”

"What, how much?" Wang Yongji didn't react for a while.

"Beheaded!" Jiang Hao smiled, "How about reporting 8818 real tartars?" Not much, right? ”

More than 8,000 is not much? Wang Yongji frowned: "Why do you still bring a fraction?" ”

"It looks like it's real, and if you want to report an integer, I'm afraid that the above won't believe it."

"You can believe it if you report more than 8,000?" Wang Yongji shook his head, "Report a little less, and reduce it by half with a discount." ”

"Oh, I'll do the math...... Nothing to remove! Newspaper line 2205? ”

"Report 2505!" Wang Yongji thought for a while, "I'll write the chapter...... How about writing a night raid on the enemy camp? ”

"It's all up to the army."

Wang Yongji asked again: "But is there a way to send the chapter to Nanjing?" The road from Datong to Nanjing is not passable! ”

"There is a way," Jiang Hao said with a smile, "The gap between Shuozhou, Jingpingsuo, Naihe Fort, and Jiangjunhui Fort is big!" As long as you sneak to Luliang Mountain, you can take the road to Shaanxi. I have inquired with Luo Yangxing, Shaanxi Province, as well as Nanyang Mansion in Henan Province, are still in the hands of Liukou! ”

"Wandering the Rogue's territory?" Wang Yongji frowned, "Can Li Zicheng agree?" ”

Jiang Hao snorted: "How could you refuse?" The Tartars were defeated...... Isn't this the kind of thing he thinks about day and night? ”
